JoHN J. INGALLS,, OF Kansas, who is
President of the United States Senate.
and whose tongue is stepped in gall
and bitterness, was asked the other day
what his idea was of the civil service
question and answered as follows: II
believe in civil s-rviCe reform. But tine
civil service reform which | would en-
force would be to promptly remove
every Democrat and fiji his place with
an uucompromising Republican, - As
President OF the Senate Ingalls, takes
good care of his own household. BY
virtue of his cfIice he gets =, 900 addition
al salary over and above:the pay Of a SEN
ator, and he has just appointed his son
10 be his private Secretary at a salary Of
3 900 with practically nothing to do.
He has also the appointment of a mes
senger foI his room in the Senate at a
salary of 81, 1000. Ingalls, is also chair.
man of the committee on the District of
Columbia, with anothe, Secretary and
messenger 81 salaries of 3, 22O and 81
400 respectively. The account from
which We get this information don't
state who are now filling the Last .hree
named positions, but the inference is
warranted that If they are not nesT rela-
tives OF ingalls, il IS because lie has
none who could fiji tae positions. This
Is The sort OF civil service reform that a
thrifty man like Ingalls, yearus for. He
Is demagOgue and fraud of the

Z. l.. HARPER, Vice President of The
Fidelity Bank OF Cincinnati, which he
wrecked some months ago BY using up
the deposits in enormous speculations in
wheat, was convicted of his offense on
Saturday last and on Monday was sen
fenced ten years to the Ohio penitentia-
ry. Ii every bank officer who plays the
same rascaIly game that Harper did was
arrested and should meet with a similar
punishment, the practice of using other
peoples money in wild speculative
schemes would be more houored in the
breach than in the observance.

FIVE hundred and ninety.four bills
were introduced in the Uuited States
Senate on last Tuesday, larger number
than were ever before introduced in a
single day. Among them were bills
calling for appropriations aggregating
nearly oigbt millions for the erection of
thirty-one public buildings all over the
country from Oregon TO Florida.
Twelye out af the fourteen Senator's
who made this raid on the Treasury are
Republicans. 1t is one of their ways of
getting rid OF the surplus in the Treasu-
~. Cleveland's plan is TO admit certain
raw materials of manufacture free of
duty and 20 reduce the tax on the
neccessaries of life.

President remarks that "both OF the
great political parties now represented
in the Government have, by repeated and
authoritative declarations, condemned

most solemn manner, promised its cor

THE MISSION SERVICES.

1t has been announced that mission
will be held in st. James church in this
city. In answer to the inquiry:
"What is 'mission?'" in the sense in
which it is used in the church, we learn
that mission is a series of unusual
and special services, designed to awaken
men to an interest in religious things.
to bring back those who have strayed
away from them, and to excite greater
and renewed interest on the part of
those who are sincere Christian believers.
The means used to accomplish these
ends are not extravagant or sensational.
There are no arts used to arouse emo
tions, or to stir up the feelings of the
multitude, or to produce excitement or
enthusiasm, but there is plenty of plain,
practical preaching, calculated to arouse
those who ars living at ease in sin, and
those who have fallen into indifference
and formality, and earnest, straight-for-
ward teaching about Christian duty and
the ways of the church. These missions
have been employed for twenty years in
the church's work in England, and with
remarkable success. In this country,
that which first attracted attention, was
the great Advent mission in New York
in 1885. Services were held at at all
hours of the day and evening in many
of the different churches of the city,
and immense congregations were gath
cred. Especially worthy of note was a
service for men only, held daily at noon
in Trinity church, at the head of Wall
street. The church was packed full to
overflowirg every day by most earnest
and attentive congregation of the busi-
ness men of the city. No such spectacle
had been seen before IN the history Of
the church in this land. The press, Sec
ular as we'll as religious, was full of the
} accounts of this great mission, and doubt
less many of our readers remember it
Since that time many missions have
been held in all parts of the country
and with gratifying success.
The mission here will begin with Sun.
day services at II a. m. and 1880 p. M,
on the 18th, and Is expected to continue
eight days. Bishop Brewer will be the
mission preacher. There will be preach
ing services each evening during the
week, at half past seven, and a service
for worship every morning at ten. 1t ii
hoped that everybody will attent.

fought Calamity but In VAIN.

WASHINGTON, delegate Toole made
q gallant little fight to-day in his effort
to have retained in the legislative bill
the $500 clerk allowed by last years bill
to the secretary of Montana. The agree
ment made last night was that the bill
should conform to last years bill which
agreement was so far modified that the
committee should be allowed to amend
last years laws 30 as to strike out all
temporary officers or appropriations
which had only been made for the pres
ent year. and which ought not to be
repeated. Mr.. Holman explained that
this additional clerk had been given
the secretary of Montana for this year
only, as it was a legislative y ear, and that
he was not needed for next year. Mr..
Toole insisted that he was needed at all
times, and Rogers ofArkansas urged that
II in general principale last years bill
was to be followed, Mr.. Toole as a mat.
ter of right could secure the reten
ton ofthis clerk It was demonstrated
however that this came within the scope
of the committees right to amend by
striking out all offices for which tenn
porary appropriations were made, and
the clause was striken out.

Montana Mem0fialiBts.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The president
pro tenn, to day laid before the senate
the following memorial from the legisla-
tnre Of Montana, which was ordered
printed in the Record:
Your memorialists respectfully repre-
sent that in the years 1870 and 1871 H.
R. Horr, J. c. Mccartney and other
citizens of the United States settled upon
certain lands now embraced in the yell
lowetone National Park, and complied
with the public land laws. Owing to
the isolated location of said settlement
the came being twenty miles distant
from the nearest trading point that they
were subject to many privatious and
hardships, the valley at that time being
infested by hostile Indians, said settlers
were often compelled to hide during the
day time and perform their labor upon
their claims at night to escape the In.
dians. That the act of congress setting
apart the National Park dispossessed
the worthy pioneers of their valued
claims and improvements, your mem.
orialists respectfully submit that to dis
possess citizens of their hard earned
property, without adequate reimburse
ment, is adverse to good government
and therefore earnestly petition youI
honorable body to adopt such measures
as will cause an am icable adjustment o
the grievances herein mentioned.

EDITOR CHRONICLE:
Since educational matters seem to be
uppermost in the public mind, it is but
just that both sides should be accorded a
hearing. If careful regard for neat.
ness in dress is an indication of dude,
then Prof. Davis may be classed as such;
if, on the other hand, he endeavors,
with due respect for self, as well as the
spirit of the law which requires from
pupils "a proper attention to neatness in
dress, etc.," to give example in person,
he should not be held up as mark of
ridicule on that score.
"Friend of Truth" to the contrary, to
my personal knowledge no pupil has
been sent from Mrs. Davis to Miss
Richter's room, who was in any branch
fitted to remain in the Sth grade, though
several were retained there, and with
much help from Mrs. Davis, kept up
with their grade, though failing to pass
the examination required for promotion
last year.
One point being brought up in this
matter of school, is the use of the Bible.
This has been a point at issue for many
years, and it has been asserted in some
cases that the jewish population object
to it. This is not true. The objections
have come from entirely different
sources, not from people who, as nation
are noted for their keen reasoning pow.

as to imagine that the reading of q
chapter or few selected verses from the
Bible, without note or comment, could

The Gentleman from Montana Makes
Welcome Visit to Austin.

Spetia to the San Antonio times:
Austin, Feb. 2s.-The Hon. ]. H. Nc
Leary, late of San Antonio and now
Judge of the supreme court of Montana
is among the late arrivals in the city
and is an honered guest at the Driskill.
He is literally besieged by hosts of
friends, and welcomed by everybody to
the capital, where he SO long and ably
filed the high Office of encouragement
of the state. His greeting here almost
amounts to an ovation, and legislators
and citizens alike are enthusiastic in ex-
tending their hospitalities and offering
their congratulations. 1t is needless to
say that already his book is filled with
engagements covering the limited time
ne will pass in the city, and the number
Of wining and dining parties to which
he has been invited stamps him one OF
the most popular men that has visited

tive session. Judge McIeary speaks in
Aattering terms of the grand possibilities
Of Montana, and looks as though the
climate of that region was not half sc
cold or dlsagreeable as the newspapers
delight in painting it. The Judge re-
mains at the capital a few days, after
which he will visit San Antonio and
other points.

being given that the trustees fail to visit
the schools. He at least lIrs me his
duty in this respect:
Taxpayer" writing to the Courier,
says: Persons are compelled to take
their children out of our schools, because
of the alleged mismanagement of the
present corps of teachers. 1--WE are
creditably informed such is the case. !"
| Have these persons" ever visited the
schools and noted its management, or
have they, like Taxpayer" taken "cred-
liable information" on the subjectP This
is question many OF our citizens should
ask of themselves The Office of trustee
is thankless one at the best, and the
duty devolved upon every patron of the
school, as well as on the trustees, is that
of visiting every department and draw
| ing their own conclusions from these
visits.
Prof. Davis successor, whoever he may
be, has my full sympathy. This gossip
concerning the present management of
our schools, has, like sweet morsel,
been rolled over and over under the
tongues of some whom dull times has
left without other occupation, until the
youth of this place have come to consid-
er themselves not only justified but ex-
tolled for defying the rules which are
laid down for the government Of be-
tween four and five hundred children.
The rules of school are for the many
not few.
Parents, look well to the future effect
which it may exert on your children,
before you condemn, at home or in pub
lic those who may be chosen as their
instructors. A FRIEND OF JUSTICE.

THE EDUCATIONAL CONTROVERSY.

EDITOR CHRONICLE
Please allow me a little space in your
paper to answer your last weeks corre-
spondert--a lover of truth. In the first
place he states that when subject is
thoroughly mastered it is never forgot.
ten. Admitting that, / would like to
ask him if any mind can thoroughly
master subject in six months. ! do
not know Of an advanced educator who
advocates shorter term of study than
nine months. I am familiar with Web
ster's definition of the word education,
and know the three kinds. Let us see
in what proportion eacll is taught:
Moral, twelve months; physical, twelve
months, intellectual, six months. Thus
we see that physical education is OBJ
tanned at the expense of the intellect
He next compares the school now with
the reign of Prof. McComb. l have
nothing to say in regard McComb, save
that his theory of teaching consider
wrong, and if he ever instilled or tried
to instil truth and honor in his pupils
it was not by example. OF course
did not mean, while speaking of Ian
gllage, French or German. Is Mr.. Friend
of Truth not aware that the good old
grammar has been done away with
and Language books" have taken its
place? ! am not one to advocate the
study of any foreign tongue until our own
can be spoken with some degree of pur-
ity. Again l say that language to day
holds its proper place in our schools,
and for practical utility it deserves a
| first place in course of strdy. l can
( think of no reason for the use of the
expression, Substantial, Shakespearian
English education" save that it is good
mouth-filling one. Again will say the
children are taught to depend on them
selves. Some of the principles in all
well managed schools are:-The teacher
must never do for the pupil what he can
manage to have him do for himself
Education results from self-exertion
Culture comes from a well-directed, per.
sonal effort. The best teacher helps the
pupil the least, but manages to haye him
help himself the most, Mere school
keepers, rote teachers, quacks, shams
and fossils never adopt this method.
AS for pupils being sent from Mrs
Davis room to Miss Richter's simply for
the purpose of relieving Mrs. Davis o.
the trouble of solving and analyzine
difficult md embarrassing questions
reads like huge joke. So thorough and
educated a teacher as Mrs. Davis finds
no embarrassing questions in a grammar
department. l should like to say al
much for the whole corps of teachers
but my love of truth forbids. In con-
clusion regret that friend of truth ii
not friend of its kindred virtue-justice
nor friend of education.
